Pros: Robert De Niro, Sean Connery, and Kevin Costner. Mamet's muscular screenplay. De Palma's directing
Cons: None
With the success of Paramount Pictures' Star Trek movie series of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hollywood producers and screenwriters continued to mine the formerly-maligned medium of television for story ideas and even story-telling ...

Pros: Atmospheric settings and costumes, great supporting performances
Cons: Lacking a little common sense and logic
Easily De Palma's best film, this atmospheric update of the television series starring Robert Stack is an riveting, action packed dandy of a film. By combining fictional elements with the real life trial of Al Capone, he recreates Prohibition-era...

Pros: Script, screenplay, acting, direction, set design, emotional
Cons: None really
As is so often the case with me, I was channel surfing the other night when I cam across a film that I hadn't seen in many years. A film that I loved when I was younger for it's violence and bloodshed, but loved now for it's emotion and depth. That ...

Pros: Costner-Connery interaction, and the basic structure of the film
Cons: Disappointing performance from DeNero, not a good choice for someone already depressed.
Foreward to this review: It seems that there are two schools of thought with regard to Epinions movie reviews. One thinks that revealing the key aspects of the plot (thereby ruining much of the film's impact for viewers) is okay and perhaps even ...

Pros: Great acting, brilliant cast
Cons: A bit slow
In 1983, director Brian De Palma struck gold with his gangster hit, Scarface. 4 years later, in 1987, he once again made a gangster hit, this time about the battle against Al Capone during Prohibition-era.
Prohibition in Chicago has turned...

Pros: Connery, Mamet's dialogue and DePalma's direction, music
Cons: nothing
What is is about gangsters that fascinates us so? They're criminals, and thusly either by nature or because of the life they lead, violent men. Some of the most classic films of all time surround this world, and I'd say that every Amrican actor worth...

Pros: Pace, Moments of Acting, Tone
Cons: Plot, General Character Issues
Yesterday, I was in a bit of a foul mood and so when I went to get movies out of the library, I was actually looking for something violent. I wanted something that would make my heart beat a little faster, something where there were people with guns...

Pros: Connery, DeNiro...enough said.
Cons: Connery's exit.
I will often see a movie based on the people involved in it, regardless if I'm interested in the story line. I like mob movies, and I thought William Forsythe made the best Al Capone yet in the TV series, but I got my fill of the "Untouchable" stories....

Pros: Connery, De Niro
Cons: Some "gory" scenes
If I remember right, De Palma directed Scarface. In my opinion, this one is as good if not better.
Right from the opening music, I'm hooked. I am a huge fan of Connery and De Niro, but in actuality, I think that Costner leaves a little bit to be...
